The Case Of Cluverius.

There is little use in discussing the Gu
verius trial, though it seems impossible to
make persons and papers understand this.
The jury in his case were the only legally
authorized persons to hear the evidence and
determine his guilt or innocence, and they
have rendered their verdict; the judges have
declined to interfere with the finding of the
fact, and they have pronounced the judg-
ment of law upon that finding; and the
governor has refused the clemency which
he alone can grant.
Nevertheless the case still largely en-
cages public attention and interest; for, be-
You'd the res yest9 developed in the trial,
there have been subsequent developments
of very remarkable, if not unprecedented
kind. One Of the jurors has been jealous
ly active to discredit the jury and the YER
dict; he has made at least two appeals to
the governor for the pardon of the con-
demned man; and he has published, direct
ly or through interviews, various commu-
nications in the public press against the ex-
ecution of Cluverius. He has declared
over and over that if he had known what
he now knows as to the discretion of the
jury in the verdict, he would never have
concurred in the one rendered; and curren-
cy has been given to statements to the eff

Paups church, Richmond, last Wednesday

bridal cake of the Princess Beatrice, and
was made by Pizzini by order of the English

"Among the numerous and costly bridal
presents received is beautiful silver tea

Is BINGHAM INsANE?-The Raleigh, N.
c., correspondent of the Richmond Dis
patch under date of January It'll, says
"There is some comment on DR.. Worth's
statement in the House yesterday that Wal
ter Bingham, Miss Turlington's murderer,
is insane. Very few people here believe
that, even though Bingham's grandfather
had an insane streak through his mind, and
was once in the asylum, and though there
are hints that his father was not of sound
mind on all subjects One of his uncles is
in the asylum now. Miss Turlington's bro
Their Willis, who was here yesterday, says
he does not believe Bingham is crazy. An
Ashevlle deaf-mute who was a schooi-mate
Of Bingham says he believes the latter has
gone to South America. In that country
he has another school-mate of whom he is
fond. The post-mortem examination of
Miss Turlington's remains is not to be made
public, her brother says, until such time as
Bingham is captured and brought to trial.
A close watch continues to be kept for
Bingham, but he has absolutely faded from
sight. The burlington family are very
grateful for the kindnesses of the people
of the State, as shown in the search for the
dead giIl."

SHOCKING DEATH. On Monday last two
little children of Mr.. Charles Garner were
at their grandmother's, on the south end of
School street. They were in a room with
Miss Rosa Garner, when the latter, having
occasion to go to another part of the house,
left the children by themselves for a mo-
ment. While she was gone, the older one,
about six years of age, picked up the poker
and commenced punching the coal on the
fire, making it blaze up brightly, and then
turned her back on the fire. While in this
position her clothing caught fire, and be-
fore any one could reach her she was en-
veloped in the flames. 1t was found, when
the charred remnants of clothing could be
removed from her, that the poor little body
Yves burned to blister. Medical attention
availed nothing, and she died early on
Tuesday morning. The parents, neither of
whom were with her for several hours after
the event, are plunged in deep grief, in
which we heartily sympathize with them.-l

 " Yes, sir, in one day, Ii isn't every road that can afford improvements of that magnitude. But our line is making money now, and the superintendent said we had used that long track long enough"
 (. But how did he manage to do the job So quick? Must haYo taken several thousand men?"
 "Oh, no; one man did the whole thing. It took him about te, minutes. You see, when our road was first built traffic was light and profit doubtful. So tho distance between stations was put down on the time Card at from one to Ike ialica greater than it was. Of course, al! passengers were charged three cents a mile according L. the distance.

4 Mouse,s Adventure.

Jud5e Weaver, of Atchison, KaB., has R very fine cat that he values highly. II Is an excellent mouser, and Ike most playful cats. likes to tease Its victims be. lore making away with them. The other day it was observed toying with mouse. II would strike 1t Just hard enough with !ts paw to partly palsy 1t. and then suffer it to run away distance.
 Soon the mouse gathered up strength and as the cat was about to spring ior- ward to catch it, with mouth open. the Liouse ran into the cats mouth The ca, vas socI, observed to be in great agony. IL cllineed up the banlsters, ran up pests, and seemed to be decidedly uneasy with the load upon Its stomach.
 BGtsouD tho mouse was seen to emerge frciu the cats stomach, and, most singu- . lsrly, ii came out head foremost, 50 that lt must have turned around in the caJs stomach and came ont as i. entere;i- head foremost. The cat was much ex- haus:ed, and lay in a comatose state for an hour or more, in which tiE-e little IDoDsie escaped.

4 CONFEDERATE MATCH FACTORY.
Matches That Had to be Watched to Pre-
 vent Self.IgnitiOn.


 Tho first match factory tn the Con- federncy, was in or rather near Atlanta. The owner WAS an Atlanta man. These matches were sold from Richmond to the gulf
 Unlike some ofou recent experiments In that linc, there WAS no trouble abou; igniting the matches. 4 man did not have to strike one sixteen times, end finally have to hit it on the head with Q hammer. or light It by the fire. His main tronble wRs 10 keep the thing from going of prena.urely. and inc only eiTectunl safeguard was to keep it in g bottle cf water. They wero the most utterly too previous matches ever seen tn this or any other country.
 The enterprise was never profitable, because half the stock was inyoriably lost by spontaneous combustion. Wagon ioSds of-mntcl4es on taelr way from tko factory 10 the city would burst Into c blaze half way On the ronl, soaring the driver ani hts mules out of their senses.
 Several Atlanta stores handled these useful LlerTeis cf hoT2o enterprise, but customers zero cautioned t0 tread lightly for fear of iarring the matches into q con:!agration, md clerks were detailed to =it up every night to watch the trouble -JAAo
 The owner of this match factory put UP the stuff In which the matches were dipped. and sold 1t for ret poison. IL certainly killed tho r.zts, bet tho nGsty character fthe stuff created such panic In the city that the industry had to be 6qaelched.
 Whitehall street merchant bought a box of the poison one day md carrying it to his store, tried to epcGd dab Of It on piece of dry bread as bait for the rats. He gave 1t one spread when there yeas "whish 1" and tho whole affair bIazed up In his face. singeing Of his whiskers.
 A few similar experiments preiudlced the people against the new poison. They said It was too rough on the rats to burn out their stomachs with such an ex- plosive.
